[ALCS GM 2] Mariners (Gilbert) vs Blue Jays (Yesavage): 10/13/25, 5:03pm

[Doubleplay21]

How many homers does Varland give out before Schneider trusts him.

How many walks and wild pitches does Little gives before Schneider sees

[neverbeenhere]

bluejays are still not out of the curse from wildcard game against mariners

Why is it that the Jays deadline acquired relievers always s*** the bed?

Cause we like to tweak them to our pitching philosophy but it takes a whole off season to iron out the kinks.

[thatoneguy]

Inability of this bullpen to consistently shut down innings is the Achilles heel of this team and it’s going to cost them a chance at the WS.

Everyone else can see it.  Why can't he or whoever makes these plans/moves see it?

The world if the Jays didn't trade for Louis Varland is a world I want to live in. I've never seen someone so hittable being treated like he's the best reliever on the team. 

[Rynodb1]

Schneider manages like we have the greatest bullpen of all time. 

[PitaBaby]

This really is the last team that the Jays wanted to play at this point. Going to take quite the miracle to get back in the series. 

[Alejandro Murphy]

My nightmare continues because of this Seattle Mariners

[Omar]

bottom of the fifth, plenty of time to make something happen

[Jonn]

Of course Varland cruises after the 3-run Homerun.

[Abomination]

I actually agree with this pitching change even though the results were terrible. Last night's was a horrible decision though.

[Stangstag]

Varland has given up way too many big hits for me to trust him with guys on base anymore

Because the numbers arent speaking to them clearly enough.  Obviously you cant trust what you see with your eyes because that would be too simple...

he is THE worst manager 

[jmomcc]

I'm so sick of Louis 'great stuff' Varland. Maybe it isn't great stuff. 

[Slade]

Varland not high leverage. 

[416BlueJs]

Varland gives up a home run each outing. Did we expect anything different? Hopefully next year we can get passed this curse

[thatoneguy]

Varland’s fastball reminds me of Joe Kelly, and that is not a good thing.

Fair enough but the problem is we don't have enough pitchers that we can fully trust. We have a bunch of B+ players but not really any A+ players.

[SeranthonySantander]

Now I gotta go to the podcast Varland did with Whit Merrifields channel and unlike 

[Doubleplay21]

If Varland becomes a starter next season he may give out the most home runs ever in a season. He cannot be a reliever next season because he is s fire starter.

[Nexii]

Don't agree with the IBB on Raleigh. Not with zero outs and tie game. Pretty much this happens more than the GIDP

[416BlueJs]

John sounds stupid

[neverbeenhere]

Trey should be taken out, not wrong, but there are so many other arms to use, why not Lauer, Fisher or Fluharty 

[HomeRunHomer]

If your fastball has no movements, MLB hitters can crush it. Especially if you throw right down the middle.

[Big_Walleye]

That should be the last time Varland is trusted this year.  It doesn't matter how hard you throw if you can't locate.

People *****ing about Little make me laugh.  He led the league in appearances this year and gave up 2 homers.  Varland has given up more than that this postseason.

[rydermike]

Nice play.

And that's why you play with your starter as much as you can. But this dumbass manager always think the Jays got the best bullpen in the game. f***ing s***

[bluejaysinternNo5]

Do you think Lukes ever gets tired of bailing this team out?
